Chapter 1697 Hungarian Storm 2
Chapter 1697 Hungarian Storm 2
What should we do if the country becomes unstable? Of course, it is to maintain stability. Of course, Count Albany's maintenance of stability is not only to use violence to make the other party surrender, but also to solve the winter problems of most people, at least most Hungarians. Similar to the bourgeoisie's desire to seize the property of nobles and landowners, this time Count Albany intends to seize the ideas of some of the big bourgeoisie, bourgeois radicals and some ethnic minorities! Of course, the so-called ethnic minorities later are the Romanians. After all, the Slovaks, Croats and Germans have been brought under Austrian control. It is impossible for the Hungarians to sweep away the autumn wind!
Prime Minister Tisza did not agree with Count Albany's proposal. In fact, he was very opposed to this. It is not that the parliament cannot pass this resolution. It is easy for the parliament to pass this resolution, because now, the Hungarian Parliament is The big aristocracy and the big bourgeoisie are in power, but what can they do with this mandate? Really take action on the already fragile Hungarian national power? !
Regardless of the outcome, after this storm, the confrontation between the aristocracy and other classes in society will become even more serious! And it will consume the strength of the Hungarian nation! In this case, Prime Minister Tisza really opposed it, but he also knew that even if he opposed it, some people would still do it. Moreover, Prime Minister Tisza can sit in his current position because of the support of Count Albany and others!
The meeting ended in the silence of Prime Minister Tisza, which also allowed Count Albany to see clearly Tisza's attitude. Since the possibility of implementing this plan through the Hungarian government is low, then some things must be done by himself. Got it! Do you really think that the aristocratic power in the Kingdom of Hungary that has lasted for hundreds of years has no foundation? You underestimate them too much! These nobles are not only deeply rooted in Hungary, but also have very close relations with foreign powers! After leaving the Prime Minister's Residence, Count Albany came to a villa in Budapest owned by the Hungarian Esterházy family.
In this villa, an important figure in the Esterhazy family, Esterhazy Morris, received the leader of the Hungarian Independence Party!
"Prime Minister Tisza is still very hesitant. He does not understand the difficulties we are currently facing and what needs to be done." Count Albany said. "Since he is unwilling to do it, we must rely on ourselves, and in this turbulent era, it is absolutely impossible without weapons and troops."
"So, what is your purpose here?" Morris asked.
"The troops confronting the Romanians in Transylvania must not be mobilized, and a considerable part of the troops and personnel remaining in Budapest are not trustworthy, and I heard that the British and French are also People work under people, so their military power cannot be underestimated. We need to build an army of our own, and this army needs first-class weapons!" said Earl Albany.
"So, you come to me? Do you want my family to bear the military expenses and equipment?" Morris leaned forward slightly.
A sense of oppression formed. "So, what's the benefit?"
"The next prime minister can be a member of the Esterhazy family! The government that survives the crisis will have the right to pay off its debts, and before paying off, you and your family can obtain a portion of state-owned assets as collateral!" said O. Count Bernie sent a document over.
"This is what you need." After reading the document, Morris also took out a document and sent it to Count Albany. "This equipment is enough to arm two infantry regiments and an artillery battalion. This is the first batch of equipment, and the rest will arrive soon."
"Amazing, you really deserve to be the prince of the Habsburg dynasty! The means are amazing, not only Skoda's rapid-fire cannon, but also the Bavarian Army's standard machine gun." Count Albany said meaningfully, with a tone that said The unknown taste is very unpleasant.
Yes, the Esterhazy family has the title of Habsburg prince! Just as the bloodline and control of the Habsburg royal family are not limited to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, in fact, the aristocratic families of NB in this era also extended their tentacles to the entire Europe, and the Esterhazy family, as the capital of the entire Hungary The same is true for the top nobles!
This family emerged in the seventeenth century. As early as 1683, the eldest son of the family led the Hungarian cavalry to fight in Vienna and Turkey and won the title of Prince of the Holy Roman Empire. In the following years, the descendants of this family even It plays a decisive role in the internal political arena of Austria and Hungary. For example, the famous Austrian Marshal Pal Antal, the Hungarian Foreign Minister Paul Anton III, and the Croatian Governor Esterházy Joseph are all from this family. . It can be said that this family has a very important influence in Vienna and Budapest.
The family's economic reach has even extended abroad. For example, the current Kingdom of Bavaria has a large number of their industries. At its peak, the family owned 1,200 square kilometers of territory in Austria, Hungary, Croatia, Slovakia and Bavaria has more than 40 manors, palaces and castles. Even according to history, after the Hungarian bourgeois revolution and subsequent World War II, the family still controls a trust investment of 600 million euros as well as the Esterházy Palace and a castle in Austria. It is still A prominent family on the European continent.
Therefore, relying on its strong economic strength and intricate relationships, this family can obtain a lot of in-demand materials and a large amount of armaments from Austria and even Bavaria for Albany and others. It is precisely because of this family that Earl Albany dares to One of the important reasons for taking risks!
In fact, when the main military force in the Kingdom of Hungary still remained in the southeastern part of Transylvania and the Romanians were fighting against each other, neither the nobles nor the radical bourgeoisie could mount a large-scale offensive involving hundreds of thousands of troops. How many people did Horthy's navy, which historically overthrew the Hungarian red regime, and the "national army" of the great aristocracy and bourgeoisie use to control the entire Hungary? Only 50,000 people. And there are only a few thousand elites among them.
And also in history, how many troops did the Hungarian red regime send when facing the Romanians after hastily completing the integration of Hungary? There are only 50,000 people, and all the artillery combined can only be 69... Therefore, despite the fact that the equipment given by the Esterhazy family this time is only enough to arm two regiments, it has also given Count Albany the confidence to use force to solve the problem!
