Chapter 1672: Strategy II

Chapter 1672 Strategy 2

"Hungary is very chaotic. Even now, some people in the Hungarian Parliament still cannot unify their opinions. Among the Hungarian Big Three, Andrahi Jr. and the spokesperson of the capitalists, Earl Albany, are not friendly to us. Prime Minister Tisza's attitude is a bit cryptic. I don't know whether he has illusions about the Austrian government or deep hostility towards us. But the bourgeois radicals are very friendly to us."

"And if you look at the social class, the capitalists and the middle class are more inclined to us. They want to build a bourgeois republic. They don't want kings and nobles. And they may take action against the landlords when necessary. And most of the Hungarians are civilians. Part of it is indifference, they just want to end the war quickly, so that their lives can have a minimum guarantee, they don't care who rules them, as long as they can meet their food and clothing needs."

"In addition, there are some Hungarian Bolsheviks who also want to seize power and have a certain mass base, especially in some armies. They are a very big threat to our plan. Eliminate." Lloyd George paused and continued. "Of course, it's all just Hungarians, but also Romanians, Slovaks, etc."

"Hehe, it's really like a big salad. All kinds of vegetables are mixed together forcibly, but the cabbage is still cabbage, and the cucumber is still cucumber. It's just that a kind of salad dressing called Hungarian is coated on it." Prime Minister Asquith had no choice. Said.

"That's the sad thing about Hungary, a big country with 20 million people and less than 10 million Hungarians. The complexities of ethnicity and class make it difficult for us to work because no matter what you do, there will be a A group of people are dissatisfied with you and even hostile." Lloyd George also complained and continued his reporting work.

"Everyone outside Hungary is not to be trusted. The Slovaks seem to have made some kind of agreement with the Austrian government. The Austrian army entered Slovakia, and the Hungarians unexpectedly withdrew their troops. The Croats and Slovenes also did the same. Some similar tendencies have emerged, and they began to rule out Hungary’s influence in these places, and the main cargo we are currently transporting to Hungary is to land and then transport through this area. If they fall to Vienna, then for our plan Said it would be a disaster."

"Of course, the worst of all are the Romanians! They confronted the Hungarians like mad bulls! Some of our people have already contacted the Romanian partisans, trying to persuade them to temporarily abandon hostilities against Hungary, but It was rejected, and there was also a lot of hostility towards the Romanians in Hungary. By the way, one thing needs to be explained, we also found a large number of Russians and a small group of French among the Romanian guerrillas. It is because of their existence that the Romanian guerrillas have greatly increased their combat effectiveness." Lloyd George said.

"This... this is really troublesome.

"General Haig couldn't help but said. The so-called plan can't keep up with the changes. The idea is good, but it will be troublesome to implement. Among other things, purely from the hatred between Romania and Hungary, I want to make a real fire. It is really not easy for the two ethnic groups who can use the bloody feud between the two sides to temporarily stop fighting.

The Romanians have their own "Greater Romania" obsession, and the Transylvania region of Hungary seems to the Romanians to win! And Hungary also has ten thousand reasons to get rid of Romania! In addition, in the past two years, the two sides played out their brains on the battlefield, and after Hungary occupied Romania, they adopted harsh suppression and military control. Now, Hungary may hang up, how could the Romanians not add insult to injury? This kind of contradiction and confrontation cannot be resolved by the British with a single sentence!

"This is not the most troublesome thing. The most troublesome thing is that the Hungarians have asked us for a large amount of food and daily necessities. But the most important thing is that they have no way to pay for it!" Lloyd George said angrily.

"Food? Daily necessities? We don't have enough for ourselves. How could there be any surplus for the Hungarians? And even if we provide help, it is impossible for us to support a country with a population of 20 million." Prime Minister Asquith said.

If you want guns and cannons, with the industrial capabilities of the Allied Powers, it is no problem to give Hungary a little bit. Don’t you see, in the history of World War I, many American troops arrived in France empty-handed, and the French were responsible Are they armed.... But if you want food, there is really no. Now Britain and France still need to import a large amount of food, and Italy, which is neutral, does not even produce enough food for half a year! However, the food shortage in Hungary is too large. How could the Allied Powers, who were just grabbing it and leaving, take over for Hungary?

"As a medium-sized European country, how could Hungary have no food reserves? Even in the war, before the Hungarian army collapsed on the battlefield, they were not short of food." General Haig asked.

"Before, although Hungary's food production did decline due to the war, it was no problem to rely on Austria and the support of imported food. Now, because of the chaos in the country, the negotiation with Vienna has reached a deadlock again, so There is no free food, and the domestic food production is controlled by the big landlords, coupled with the hoarding of the merchants, in this case, who will easily let go of the food in their hands? And the government does not act, under internal and external troubles , the food problem of the civilian class in Hungary is becoming more and more prominent." Lloyd George explained.

"Hehe. Such a regime is bound to perish." General Haig sarcastically said mercilessly. At the juncture of life and death, the Hungarians still haven't cheered up. What is it if this is not death? After the so-called revolution, no matter how bad the situation is, it can be reflected in a short period of time. One of the most critical factors is that the shortage of living materials in society is not simply caused by lack of things, but more importantly, the distribution method is unreasonable. This shortage is exacerbated by a small number of people holding on to large quantities of stuff. Therefore, once it is decided to "strike the local tyrants and divide the land", the social situation will always improve in a short period of time. Of course, it will definitely not last for a long time, because in the future, the limit on the total amount of materials cannot be changed.
