Chapter 1774: Surrender One
Of course, negotiations are not debates. More importantly, Morris wants to completely defeat Earl Tisza's spiritual defense in this way. , Of course, in line with the principle of looking at the dishes, for this kind of guy, just carrots and sticks can be done. There are such kind of people among the Hungarian nobles. Is it necessary to be so troublesome?
The key is that Count Tisza is still loyal to the Hungarian nation as a whole, and this also gives him a certain mass base. The former makes his political integrity not so low, and the latter also makes him have a certain use value. The aristocracy cannot be ruined overnight. How could the centuries-old tradition collapse overnight? Even without their privileges, their economic power is still formidable. Therefore, the new Hungarian government will definitely have some enlightened nobles. And Tissa is very suitable as a sign to win over these people!
"Prime Minister Tisza, you have countless reasons to prevaricate me, but now, look at Hungary now, look at Budapest now, look at the Hungarian people who are dying, tell me, do these things have anything to do with you ?!" Morse said.
"So? The purpose of your coming here today is to judge me? Then drag me to a corner and shoot me like those prisoners?" Count Tisza didn't bother with this question anymore, because, he knew, Morris It is indeed true, even if the desire in my heart is good. But now that Hungary has fallen into this kind of map, it is not too much to say that there is no redemption for a hundred deaths.
"A chance, a chance to redeem myself," Morse said.
"Then continue to work for Franz? Really become a loyal servant of the Habsburg royal family?" Earl Tisza asked.
"If we talk about historical inheritance, the Kingdom of Hungary and the nation have been loyal to the Habsburg family for hundreds of years. What? Is it difficult for you to accept it?" Morris asked rhetorically.
"What's more, the situation is stronger than people. Anyone with a brain knows that no matter who is in power now, they cannot rely solely on Hungary's own strength to save the country. We can only get help from Austria now, and these help Not for free!" Morris said.
"We don't have a choice. If you have, then you can do it." Morris leaned on the chair relaxed and said with a gesture of please.
"You can't threaten me. Hungary is already in the current situation, so what if it declines again? Vienna has split the area where other ethnic groups gather and is directly under the central government, and now Hungary is only more than half of what it used to be. A little," Count Tisza said.
"What you said makes sense. To be honest, His Royal Highness Crown Prince Ruprecht is actually not willing to allow Hungary to remain within the Austro-Hungarian Empire. After all, the Hungarian nation also has tens of millions of people, and its own national independence tendency Very strong, even if the situation is forced to soften now, I am afraid it will be troublesome in the future, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince feels deeply about this."
Speaking of this, Morse smiled. Count Tisza naturally knew what Morse meant. The Austro-Hungarian Empire and the German Empire are actually very similar. Hungary within the Austro-Hungarian Empire has something in common with Bavaria within the German Empire! As a person in power, he naturally does not want other powerful mountains to exist within the empire.
"So, the purpose of your coming to me is to tell me that Austria may abandon Hungary in the future?" Prime Minister Tisza asked tentatively. To be honest, Tisza was very surprised by what Morris said, because before that, Tisza had always believed that Austria's purpose was to make Hungary surrender, but he did not expect that someone in the camp of the Austro-Hungarian Empire wanted to kick Hungary out .
This is interesting, don't you think you are NB in Hungary? Don't you want to be independent? Then let you be independent, but what will happen after independence? Fuck, Earl Tisza, who insisted on emphasizing the independence of the Hungarian nation, suddenly discovered that if the Austrian Emperor really planned to abandon Hungary, then the country of Hungary might really be over! Hungary without foreign aid doesn't even have enough food for the winter! Even the basic social order cannot be maintained! Some nobles ran away, but what about the people? After this turmoil, the accumulation of decades or even hundreds of years of the Kingdom of Hungary is estimated to be gone!
"Prince Maurice, are you joking? The Austrian Emperor will give up Hungary? This joke is not funny at all." Count Tisza laughed. Trying to ease the atmosphere, and this is the first time Tisa has used honorific words this evening. And this inadvertent change in address revealed that Count Tisza's mood was a little unstable.
"Moreover, Ruprecht, as the crown prince of Bavaria, although his wife is Princess Mary, and although he has provided a lot of help to Austria, he has no right to intervene in the affairs of the Austro-Hungarian Empire on this issue. Is there a fundamental internal problem?" Count Tisza said sternly.
"That's not necessarily true. Perhaps, in the near future, Crown Prince Ruprecht may have the title of Grand Duke of Bohemia-Moravia and Regent of the Austrian Empire." Morris said earnestly. Said.
"How could the title of Grand Duke of Princess Mary be given to Crown Prince Ruprecht? Where did the regent of the empire come from?" Tisa shook her head as she spoke, expressing her incomprehension.
"Emperor Franz is doomed to grow old, and a new emperor will eventually succeed him," Morris said.
"However, no matter whether any member of the Habsburg royal family inherits the throne, he is unwilling to allow the Bavarian crown prince to occupy such an important position in the country." Earl Tisza said.
"Really? Use your imagination, Count." Morris said with a smile.
"You... You mean! Princess Mary will inherit the throne?! She has already married to Bavaria!" Earl Tisza said in a voice.
"I didn't say anything, and I'm not going to explain anything. Think for yourself." Morris continued his charade. But from his reaction, Count Tisza could see that his guess was completely correct!
"If Princess Mary successfully wears the imperial crown, how will Bavaria deal with itself? A family has an emperor and a king at the same time. This is really..." Earl Tisza said while thinking quickly in his heart. "I don't think Bavaria will break away from Germany, and it is impossible for the Habsburg and Wittelsbach families to merge. Albrecht, the eldest son of the crown prince and princess, is very likely to inherit the Austrian throne, so the second son should inherit the Bavarian throne . This combination is only temporary."
