Chapter 104 Interest Kidnapping

Hungary

As the news of the defeat of the Kingdom of Sardinia spread, more and more Hungarians lost confidence in the revolution, and a series of cities such as Miskolc, Debrecen, Pecs, and Sergey fell.

By mid-June, the last city of the Republic of Hungary was Budapest.

After losing their important cities, the revolutionary party members, who were unwilling to fail, fled to the countryside and attempted to rely on guerrilla warfare to continue their resistance.

It is a pity that the Hungarian people do not buy it. From the perspective of ordinary people, the Habsburg dynasty is their patron saint, while the Hungarian Republican government is a predatory government composed of nobles and capitalists.

If the people's war was not launched, it would be suppressed by the people.

It can be said that Franz ’s field division campaign in Hungary was very successful, and he successfully dumped all the black history of Austria to the Hungarian Autonomous Government.

The world is never short of smart people. After experiencing a civil strife, the Hungarian nobility was severely damaged. It quickly took its place and took actions to prove its role to the Vienna government, preparing to take advantage of the new social system. status.

This is the way of life for the ancient nobles, who know how to compromise with reality.The upstarts who did n’t learn this had taken lunch as early as the Austrian crackdown on the Hungarian rebellion.

In an ancient castle outside the city of Alab, a young man was angry and said: "Father, are we really going to do this? Once the Kingdom of Hungary ceases to exist, we can only ..."

The old man waved his hand and said with a long heart: "August, don't be blinded by your interests!

The Kingdom of Hungary no longer exists. From the moment the Hungarian revolution began, the determination of the Vienna government to split Hungary will not be shaken.

Although the courage to block a car with a tribute is worth admiring, it is absolutely impossible to follow suit. This is our ancestral training.

Since it is impossible to avoid the split of Hungary, why not use this opportunity to get the most benefit?

The Austrian government can use this revolution to split the Kingdom of Hungary, but there is still a lack of legal basis, and this is our opportunity."

August frowned and said, "But my father, the Vienna government divided our land. The million hectares inherited by our ancestors are history, and we will never get it back!"

The old man shook his head and said, "What do you want? These lands are divided into hundreds of thousands of people, no matter who they are, there is no way to get them back. Do you want to become a deadly enemy for these lands and our subjects? ?

Auguste, you are too extreme.Things have happened, the most important thing is not to blame others, let alone to revenge, but stop loss in time!

Do n’t forget that these lands were taken out in the name of redemption, but we did n’t get the land ransom. At this time, the Vienna government could n’t wait for you to mess up, so they did n’t need to give them a big boy."

The big nobles like the Kehali family are very concerned about the operation of the fiefs. They are angry and notorious. They are the styles of upstarts and prostitutes. The real ancient nobles value the reputation.

Aristocratic wars often break out in Europe. The nobles have to rely on their subjects on the ground to sell their lives. If they cannot get their support, why should the big nobility have a special status?

The wealth is moving. Now that the land has been divided and the boat has become a boat, the serfs who got the land are definitely not willing to give up. If they want to get the land back, they must stand opposite to these people.

There is no way to stop the loss at this time.As for retaliation against the Austrian government, this idea can be there, or even secretly add chaos to them, but there can be no action on the bright side.

Perhaps because of the marriage of the great aristocracy, the Habsburg family could not kill them, but it is still possible to withhold their demolition compensation, not the land ransom.

The ransom of millions of hectares of land, even if it is a discount, is not a small amount, and no one can refuse this wealth.

It is also not so simple to get the money. The land ransom is collected by the Austrian government, and they will certainly not take it out so easily.

Even for the government's credibility, it is not possible to directly pay the debts, as long as they give full play to the subjective initiative of the bureaucrats, the custody becomes a series of debts for a lifetime.

Thinking of this, August died instantly.Obviously the Austrian government has harmed their interests, but in order to stop losses they have to help the Austrian government to stabilize the place.

At least until the huge land ransom is paid, they must stand by the Austrian government and expect Austria to develop better, otherwise no one will pay them back.

After a long silence, August said helplessly: "Well, I will promote the petition movement and let the Austrians justly split Hungary!"

In order to redeem the huge amount of land belonging to the Kehali family, no matter how reluctant in his heart, Auguste could only admit his nose.

To mobilize people to petition, apply to become the direct jurisdiction of the Habsburg family, and provide the Austrian government with an excuse to split Hungary, is their first step in selling to Vienna.

Franz wants to eat, it is easy to split Hungary, but it is difficult to convince the locals. Historically, after the Kingdom of Hungary was split, it took a long time to die and resurrect, that is, the local people were not convinced.

If the local people take the initiative to apply and become the direct jurisdiction of the Habsburg family, then it is not a problem.This is public opinion and no one can pick out the problem.

Public opinion is blindly obeyed. At this time, it was the turn of the nobles to perform. With their leadership and the reputation of the Habsburgs in the folk, planning such a petition is easy.

...

Budapest, now an isolated city, the Austrian army seems to have lost its interest in siege, and has not launched an offensive in a week.

There is the Danube River, and the city is not short of water. There is no way to replenish other supplies. Hesitating for the lack of industrial raw materials, the factory has long ceased operation.

A large number of unemployed people face high prices, and the city's economy has collapsed. The young and strong can join the National Self-Defense Forces to have a meal together, and the old, weak and sick will completely lose their economic sources.

The National Self-Defense Force's military discipline collapsed largely because the soldiers still had families to support, and the forced Hungarian Republican government paid them the military pay, but could not afford a family.

In order for their families not to go hungry, they must also suppress the "counter-revolutionaries". Only in this way can they seize enough wealth from the "enemy" to support their families.
