Chapter 1,612 Let Time Prove Everything
Chapter 1612 Let time prove everything
To be honest, when Prime Minister Tisza was about to give up his choice, both Count Andrássy and Count Albany were shocked. After all, Prime Minister Tisza's ability was recognized by Hungary's top leaders. If even he If everyone thinks it's dangerous to continue like this, then maybe the situation will really be so bad? After returning to Budapest, the two men did something. They tried their best to persuade the Hungarian nobles to give up their departmental interests, and prepared to reorganize their armaments and use their own strength to solve the national problem in Transylvania.
Of course, the previous promise to hand over Slovakia to the Austrian central government must also be implemented. The Austrian Emperor still saved some face for the Hungarians. Slovakia is still within Hungary's territory, but it is just for Vienna to take over.
The Austrians moved very quickly. Accompanied by a division of troops, the central delegation entered Bugatislava, the capital of Slovakia. The central delegation and representatives of the Slovaks discussed the status of both parties, and Vienna agreed to give them a The Slovaks will have certain autonomy rights, and the regional educational and cultural requirements will be retained, but at the same time they must learn German. Security will also be handed over to the imperial army, and only some police personnel will be retained in Slovakia. At the same time, Slovakia can buy essential goods from the center at lower prices.
At the same time, in Croatia, representatives from Vienna also made contact with the Croatians. After all, unlike Slovakia, which has been a sphere of influence of Hungary for a long time, the annexation of Croatia only started in the second half of the 19th century. , coupled with Hungary's national oppression policy, the Croats have no psychological burden to abandon Hungary and fall into the arms of Austria. And historically, before the crown prince committed suicide, the Croats once pinned their hopes for national independence on the former!
Hungary's liquidation of the Romanian rebels in Transylvania has also begun. In Fritz's view, no matter whether this battle is a victory or a failure from a military perspective, Hungary will lose this place in the end! It goes without saying that he lost the fight. Even if the war is won, the national hatred between Hungarians and Romanians will make the relationship between them irreparable. With Hungary being unprecedentedly weak, if the Romanians in Transylvania ask to join the new Austrian-led King Fritz would naturally agree.
What? What do you think will happen to Romania after the war? Ruprecht had already thought about this issue for the Austrian Emperor. The Ottoman Turkish Empire and Bulgaria are German allies, so these allies need to be paid. Bulgaria will occupy parts of southern Romania, and the Turks will also have a piece of territory along the Black Sea. Important oil fields and areas bordering the Austro-Hungarian Empire would be annexed to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The country of Romania will become a small country with an area of only 50,000 to 70,000 square kilometers and will no longer be able to jump.
As a result, most of the entire Romanian nation will be divided into three countries. The extremely weakened New Romania will be unable to become the leader of the independence movement, and the Romanians in the three countries, no matter where the Romanians want to Be independent,
will be collectively suppressed by three countries! For specific circumstances, please refer to the Kurds of later generations... Neither Türkiye, Iraq nor Iran wants the Kurdish independence movement to rise! Therefore, even if there are more than 20 million people, it is of no use...
The entire plan was carried out according to the plans of Ruprecht and Emperor Franz, but the Austrian Emperor was not without worries. According to the current situation, a Bolshevik regime may be born in Russia this winter or next spring. Will this trend affect Hungary? And if the Hungarian bourgeoisie can no longer bear it and a Bolshevik regime comes to power, what should Austria do?
The prince is not worried about this, because the Hungarian Bolsheviks are not strong. They are different from Russia. The latter has deeply penetrated the army, and the Hungarian Bolsheviks came to power based on the bourgeois government under the pressure of the Allies. In case of crash. And to be honest, things in the world will eventually be solved with bread and guns.
The place that is destined to be independent from Hungary has taken away Hungary's most important grain producing areas. Hungary itself does not have much inventory. It will take time for the grain to mature. Any regime, no matter what banner you are under, will not be able to guarantee the best results for the people. Basic living needs will definitely not last long. After being divided, Hungary was so small that they simply couldn't move enough supplies! Maybe it can be supported for a few months, but after a long time, something will definitely happen without external support.
Moreover, in this dimension, Hungary’s consumption is still smaller than in history. The bourgeoisie and the nobility will still control part of the army, so the most likely result is that the two sides will now have a domestic war... Then what? Is it a victory for the bourgeoisie or for socialism? This result is actually not important anymore. What is important is that this war will make the Hungarians understand their status! Even if they could be independent, even if they could choose their own government, their lives would never be better than under Vienna.
On the issue of Hungary, the prince and the Austrian Emperor still had differences. The Austrian Emperor hoped to continue to keep this country in his own territory after the civil strife in Hungary, but the prince had reservations about this. After all, the traces of hundreds of years of Hungarian national independence cannot be completely disappeared in a war. To be honest, the Austro-Hungarian Empire will face national problems for a long time...
Something big happened in Hungary, and the Kaiser, as an ally, also diverted some energy from the front line and at home to pay attention to his allies.
"It seems that Fritz intends to fundamentally solve the dual system of the Austro-Hungarian Empire." The Kaiser looked at the report sent by Prime Minister Holweg and said to himself.
"What is Ruprecht doing? Where are his troops? Including the Legion of Bohemia." asked the Kaiser.
"The Bavarian Army and the Bohemian Army did not stop in the Austro-Hungarian Empire except for normal transit. Now the Austrian Army has stopped its offensive, some troops have withdrawn into the country, and the defense area has been taken over by the Bavarian Army. His Royal Highness the Prince has personally gone to Asia Minor. He We have formulated a very bold battle plan." said Little Maoqi on the side.
