Chapter 1701 The British in Budapest 2
"However, it is impossible for the British Empire to fund an enemy. The Austrians have already occupied Slovakia and Croatia, and penetrated into other parts of Hungary. At this time, do you think that Hungary can still become an equal existence with Austria? Stop dreaming!" William said loudly.
"Your Excellency can come here today, so it shows a problem. The British Empire does not want our mutual cooperation to collapse. We will definitely not join the Allied Powers under the current situation, because it is tantamount to suicide, but we can guarantee , the new Hungarian government will withdraw from the war. And it will start a struggle with Austria for the territorial integrity of Hungary. Your country's purpose is to contain the power of the Allies, and sometimes, euphemistic political confrontation can draw the opponent's energy more than military confrontation. "
At this moment, Yasi Oscar, who had been silent all this time. The latter represents the bourgeois radicals in Hungarian society, advocating the complete destruction of the old Hungarian system and the establishment of a political system similar to that of France. He and William had been on good terms, but now even he was opposed to joining the Entente.
The British regard the Hungarians as cannon fodder, and the Hungarians are also wary of the British, but what is unexpected is that the two sides did not hide their thoughts from each other this time. To some extent, it can be regarded as open and honest. ? As for why this happens? The reason is very simple, both sides have something to ask for from the other side, that is to say, everyone has a hole card!
The British wanted to make trouble, and they finally chose the faction headed by Karoli not only because the two sides were relatively close in "political orientation", but more importantly, the nobles headed by the Earl of Albany refused to give up the faction in Romania. The results obtained! Although, Hungary is now in chaos, although, the Austrian government has begun to attack the ethnic minority areas in Hungary. However, I don't know what Austria thinks, but the benefits Hungary gained from Romania are still retained by Vienna. In the eyes of the British, this may be a stick from Vienna to a sweet date.
And this plan seems to really work. The nobles headed by the Earl of Albany are still firmly grasping part of the Romanian territory at this time. Based on this alone, it is impossible for the British to cooperate with the Earl of Albany. The attitude of Yasi Oscar and others is more in line with the appetite of the British. They expressed their willingness to maintain the territory before the war with the Romanians, and they clearly proposed an independent tendency, even though the territory controlled by the Kingdom of Hungary is no longer It may be compared with before, but the British believe that the independence of Hungary at this time will still deal a heavy blow to the Allies.
After considering the pros and cons, the British chose to side with Karoli and Yasi, but how could the British, who are a mixture of businessmen and pirates in their bones, not take some precautions? ! Therefore, the British also made a move in helping the Hungarians. They said that they could recruit some "military personnel from the Allied Powers" to help Karoli and others, and many members of these "military personnel from the Allied Powers" are still in the process of Romanians and Russians facing off with Transylvanian and Hungarian armies!
For this almost poison-in-the-pie approach,
Neither Karoli nor Yaxi really can't refuse, because they lack armed personnel too much! Especially the lack of commanders with combat experience, not to say that there were no experienced commanders in the Hungarian army after World War I. After all, it is also a country that has mobilized millions of troops. Although the main army has been defeated now, However, there are still some grassroots officers who want to find some, but it is a pity that in this complicated situation, most soldiers chose neutrality, and the main force of the remaining Hungarian troops is still in the guerrillas of Transylvania and Romanians The teams played against each other.
Although Karoli and others expressed their willingness to return the territory acquired from Romania, they will never give up Transylvania! The Earl of Albany did not move the troops here, and Caroli and others also did not have this plan or ability!
Therefore, buying some officers who had served in the army and some leftovers of the army with a lot of money became the top priority for Karoli and others to expand their armies and prepare for war! However, in the current situation of economic collapse and material shortage, even if there are some people in the army who are inclined to them, Karoli must use real money, at least enough bread, to buy these people and their troops ! But it's a pity that Karoli and others don't even have enough bread now, and they plan to divide the land from local tyrants to make up for this shortfall. So, now, no matter what, Karoli and others realize that if they want to win If it is not the case, we must rely on those "foreign mercenaries" who are still enemies now! This is also the biggest hole card of the British!
"Your reply made me very angry and surprised. At this critical moment, your country still has illusions about Vienna and Poland?! We have provided you with a lot of help, and your soon-to-be-successful Time is never on our side," William said.
"For this, I am sorry, but this is forced by the situation, whether it is us or your side, it is impossible for us to face the blade of the Germans, and if your country has a better choice, it is estimated that it will not Give us the precious supplies and equipment?" Karoli's seemingly tactful but tough reply showed his attitude. On this issue, there is no retreat for his side!
"Your actions have reduced our mutual trust to the extreme. In order to protect the interests of the British Empire and its allies, we need to have some reservations. Therefore, under special circumstances, we cannot guarantee the Transylvania region The ceasefire agreement can be perfectly fulfilled." William said with regret.
Although William really felt very regretful, this result is still expected. After all, when the German and Austrian troops are flourishing, it would be unbelievable if the other party agreed to join the Allied Powers immediately after taking power. Even the British army The internal deduction on this matter has come to such a conclusion. If Hungary really decides to join the Allied Powers, it will take less than a week for the Austrians and Germans to kill Hungary! After all, Hungary itself is on the verge of collapse now, not to say that it can be strengthened with a change of government! Therefore, anyone with a brain will not confront the Allies head-on after taking control of Hungary!
