Holy Roman Empire

Chapter 105

By mid-May, there was a widespread food shortage in Budapest, and the high food prices had wiped out the last wealth in the pockets of the people.

In order to stabilize order, the Republican government had to start implementing the food ration system.

At this time in Budapest, vegetables and fruits became luxuries, and meat products also withdrew from ordinary people's tables and became exclusive nobles.

The government can provide only the most basic 500 grams of black bread per person per day, plus 300 grams of potatoes and 200 grams of corn.

With such little supplies, the bureaucracy in the government is still profiting from it, and two shortfalls is a routine operation.

There are black hearts with black bread with impurities such as leaves and wood chips, colored potatoes, colorful corn, and people with poor digestive systems who eat these things and may die at any time.

Only the unexpected, not impossible, the morality of the Republican government officials can be called a model of the capitalist world.

The food tension in Budapest is limited to the people at the bottom. For the ruling class, they are not short of food. Even though the enemy has come to the door, their banquet has never stopped.

Even through the underground black market, they began to plunder the wealth of the middle class and petty bourgeoisie.The price of the food has been fried to the sky, and a piece of brown bread without additives requires silver coins of equal weight.

In an ordinary residential house in Budapest, only 50 kilograms of bread can be bought at this time; even a bustling shop, the price is only a few hundred kilograms of bread at most.

In the corner of the city, there are women standing everywhere, just need a piece of black bread, or a potato, they can get their services.

In order to reduce food consumption, since June, the revolutionary government has expelled the old, weak and sick from the city out of the city, and Lieutenant General Julius accepted the refugees with a smile and carried out proper resettlement.

Franz attaches great importance to propaganda. Journalists from all major Austrian media have been invited. They waved their cameras to take photos from various angles. These are important evidences to expose the crimes of the Revolutionary Party.

Now they do n’t need the government to take action. They looked at these thin-skinned war refugees and listened to their brutal complaints against the Hungarian Republican government. The media with a "sense of justice" scrambled to scold the unscrupulous revolutionary government of Hungary.

The famous Hungarian composer Liszt was also mixed into the reporter team at this time, and the more he knew, the more he was hurt.

Not only he, but many literati and Mo Ke ran over, including some supporters of the Revolutionary Party. The scenes before them made everyone directly stubborn about the Revolutionary Party.

The writer's pen is murderous and bloodless. With the joint efforts of everyone, this Hungarian revolution was redefined.

Kosut, who was trapped in Budapest, and others did not know that their reputation was already bad. Tens of thousands of people submitted a petition to the emperor, hoping that the emperor would be fair to them.

Franz, of course, pushed the boat, accepted the petition of the people, made it clear that all chaotic parties will be publicly reviewed, and invited the victims to serve as a jury, and the jury voted to determine the final sentence.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is the Austrian government's killing of the Revolutionaries.

This group of victims, now wishing to devour the Revolutionary Party, how could they be merciful to them?

The end result must be a killing head.The trial is still conducted in the name of the people. Even if there are more kills, the Austrian government cannot be blamed.

Of course, this is limited to one time, and the future Austria must be a country under the rule of law.

Before the Revolution, Hungary and Austria were managed separately. Many of the laws in the two places were different. The Hungarian laws were out of date and the Austrian laws were not implemented locally. Franz could take the opportunity to hand over the power of sentencing to the people.

...

Seeing that the revolutionary flames were extinguished everywhere, and the only ally, the Kingdom of Sardinia, was slammed by Austria with one hand. At this time, the Revolutionaries were thinking about the way forward.

The Austrian army suddenly stopped attacking Budapest, which surprised the Revolutionaries. Kosut's first thought was internal response.

The Habsburg family has never lacked supporters in Hungary, and there are also royalists in Budapest. In addition, nobles and capitalists who want to re- speculate will definitely not be a minority.

Once these people are activated, Budapest will change hands in an instant.

The foundation of the Revolutionary Party is too shallow, and it is divided into different groups. Before 1847, the number of the largest revolutionary groups did not exceed three figures.

After the outbreak of the Great Revolution, the revolutionary ranks expanded by a hundredfold. Most of these people have taken a piece of the Revolutionary Party. In fact, the Revolutionary Party has no binding force on them at all.

The sequelae of the rapidly growing ranks broke out. There was no strict revolutionary organization and no unified political program. Most of the people were hot-headed, or they were embarrassed to refuse the recommendation of acquaintances, and they became members of the Revolutionary Party.

No one wants to die, and the Revolutionaries are no exception.The Austrian army did not rush to attack, but the internal conflicts of the Hungarian Republican government were intensifying.

After a series of failures, the prestige of Kosut, the head of state, has reached a critical point, and the opposition has been intolerable to him. Even his descendants began to doubt his ability.

The Hungarian National Self-Defense Force expanded too fast, mixed with the Three Religions and Nine Classes, and Kosut did not restrict it. Finally, the Uzbekistan ignited a dispute.

On June 8, a company of the National Revolutionary Army rushed into the house of Count Eastfan on the orders of Kosut, buckled the counter-revolutionary hat of Count Eastfan, and executed counts including the count on the spot. Ten people, after looting the goods, took all the young women back to the barracks.

Things went wrong. Earl Eastfan was not an ordinary aristocrat, and was later honored by Hungarians in later generations: the greatest person in Hungary, can such a person be killed casually?

You know, since the establishment of the Republic of Hungary, there have been many internal contradictions. Kosut also personally invited Count Eastfan to mediate, but now he was executed for counter-revolutionary crimes?

At the Hungarian government meeting on June 9, the opposition headed by Shemir made direct attacks.

"Mr. Cosout, I would like to ask who authorized you to convict Count Eastfan? Why should a great noble be executed? The atrocities that took place in the Earl's Court, and how to explain them?"

Kosut's heart collapsed, the conscience of the world, when did he order the execution of Count Eastfan?

However, the matter had already happened. The National Self-Defense Forces carried out under his banner. The company commander of the person concerned had disappeared. The truth of the matter could not be recovered.

"This matter has nothing to do with me. I have never given such an order!" Kosut denied.
