Chapter 1353 Situation
Anti-pirated chapter~~~! Third update~~!
"So good, Your Majesty, what are the conditions for Hungary? What benefits do they have to obtain to be loyal to the new emperor?!" asked the prince.
"They want Romania." Emperor Ao said.
"Well, if the German Emperor has no objection and they can eat it, they can share some benefits from Romania." The prince sneered. What's the joke? The Romanians in Hungary were not very honest in history. Do you still want to increase the population of Romania now? And as an independent country, although there was no United Nations in this era, it was not easy to completely eat a country. What's more, the Romanian king and the German emperor were still intimate... It was a family several lifetimes ago!
"They still want to retain Hungary's political status in the empire." Emperor Ao said the second point.
"If they don't agree, we can't do things in the name of Austro-Hungarian Empire? Haha, I want to know what they think about the newly added territory." The prince said.
"They also plan to get a piece of the pie. After all, Hungarians are bleeding in these places. They are also very alert and try their best to maintain the balance of power between Hungary and Austria!" Fritz said with a sigh.
"Haha, they are not stupid." The prince's smile was full of contempt for Hungary! Please, Is it better to know it? If you use the current military power on the Eastern Front as a pie chart, from the perspective of combat effectiveness, the German military power accounts for more than 60% of the total proportion, and of these 60%, the prince's Bavarian Legion and Bohemia Legion account for about 45%. Markensen's legion probably has about one-third of the prince's combat power, which is about 15%. However, the Austro-Hungarian Empire accounts for about 40%. (A more modest statement). Among them, Austria-Hungarian military power accounts for 25% of the total. The combat power of the entire Hungarian legion is almost the same as that of the Mackenson Legion, after all, Markensen also has two armies under his command!
Almost 90% of tanks and aircraft, 80% of heavy artillery, machine guns and other technical equipment are all from the German and Austrian legions. Although the Hungarian legions are large in number, their combat effectiveness is relatively low. Therefore, if the effort is equal to the return, (in fact, it is impossible. Bavaria cannot get half of the Eastern Front results. Of course, adding the Austrian banner is just a matter of two.) It is already very good to give Hungary part of Romania's territory. Do you still want to get a share of Ukraine?! Why!
Hungary was right. In fact, in history, Austria's strength was stronger than Hungary. Look at the Czech industry in World War II and the Skoda military factory. You can tell what proportion of Austria-Hungarian Empire's industry. Now, with the strong rise and intervention of the Bavarian Kingdom, Austria is stronger. This strength is reflected in national strength, military strength, technology, capital and other aspects! It made Hungary feel huge pressure! This gap in power will eventually turn into political asymmetry. Therefore, it is normal for the Hungarians to expand this time. Otherwise, they are waiting to be crushed?!
"Father, I think it would be better if Hungary goes out than staying in the country and then getting a piece of the pie from the interests that originally belonged to us!" said the prince.
"Look at this place, in the future, we can confirm that the areas we have obtained include at least 40% of Russian Poland, as well as half of Ukraine and part of Belarus. If you are lucky, you can also control the Transcaucasus! These places can completely offset the losses caused by the Hungarian division, right?" The prince moved him to his advantage.... With such a big piece of profit, do you really want to give Hungary, which has not done much effort?!
"Do you want to tell me that if we exclude them, we can eat all these benefits? You are such a profiteer." Emperor Fritz said calmly, making people unable to see his attitude.
"Imagine that even if the German Emperor would not send his army to oppress us, he would at least divide and weaken us. Therefore, William would support Hungary to get more benefits, and those Hungarians would never give up such great interests. As you said, we cannot deal with them with force. Even if we want to separate the family, we still have to ced some of the interests. How to solve this problem?" Emperor Fritz said.
"This is not a problem at all!" the prince said with a smile. "Because by then, whether Hungary can still be still in the current Hungary! Don't forget that the fundamental reason why Hungary agreed to form a binary empire is that they are also very fragile. They need Austria, just as Austria needs them. But now, with the support of the Kingdom of Bavaria, once the family is divided, Austria will still be Austria, but Hungary may not be Hungary!" After the prince said this, even Emperor Fritz on the opposite side shivered!
"Now, I know what it means to do anything." Fritz stared at the prince opposite him. It seemed that he had known his son-in-law now. He really believed that what the prince said just now was definitely not a threat, but a dare to make a big fuss! Such a person either became a god, someone raised it to the clouds, or failed, but was called a madman, and was under the pillar of shame in history!
"You want to trip up the Hungarians?" Emperor Ao asked tentatively.
"In fact, we don't have to do a lot of things. The sequelae after the end of the war is enough to make Hungary collapse on its own. The end of the battle does not mean the end of the war. Any war will leave great sequelae after the end of any war. Germany and Austria can use their own accumulation to survive this period of weakness. But what about Hungary? A farmer-oriented, domestic ethnic conflicts are unprecedentedly fierce, and they have just left our country. What will be greeted by them?"
"It's chaos, conflict, coup! It's endless turmoil, until this turmoil exhausted the last bit of Hungary's vitality, and then the Hungarian parliament or other rulers agreed to national self-determination, and then..." Ruprecht made an explosion, "it was broken into pieces!"
