Chapter 1538 A little dizzy
However, neither Grand Duke Baden nor Prime Minister Holwig, nor even William II could say that the prince did something wrong. After all, this is helping the empire's allies to stabilize the internal affairs and help the empire carry out wars better. Can William II say no? Obviously not!
"There are still some Hungarian kingdoms. This place is being discussed..." The prince threw another bomb! The place the prince said was Slovakia in later generations. The so-called lies were 90% true, and this achievement was fake, because the prince did not really talk to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In the whole incident, his son had the right to inherit Bohemia and Moravia. With this sentence, it only made the German Emperor believe that this time, Emperor Fritz was really touched! He spared no effort!
If you want to simply mention Bohemia and Moravia, can you not mention Slovakia? Of course, it is OK, but logically there will be flaws. After all, this time it can be seen as the division of Hungary between Austria and Bavaria. Bavaria has no reason to only take benefits from Austria, not Hungary. As the saying goes, half of a hundred miles travels is ninety. In order to make this thing more similar, the prince mentioned Slovakia!
"This time, the Ao Emperor really invested a lot..." At this point, although the prince had not said how to tame Hungary, both Grand Duke Baden and Holvig had already subconsciously believed the prince's statement. This time, the Ao Emperor really wanted to take action!
"The amount of information this time is a bit large, a little dizzy..." Don't say that Holvig is already a little silent. Even Grand Duke Baden feels that this time is really worth it... Ruprecht told the two of these things, in fact, from another perspective, it can also be understood as a force to the German Emperor to make the German Emperor clear. Unfortunately, the prince can express his opinion directly, while Grand Duke Baden and the others have no say in this matter. Therefore, subtly, Grand Duke Baden and Holvig have shifted their attention from the issue of the candidate for the Austro-Hungarian Crown to this political infighting within the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
After all, everything has to be prioritized... Obviously, this time the major changes in the Austro-Hungarian Empire are obviously much more important than choosing a heir to the crown prince. If the crown prince is not chosen well, you can change one. But if this matter is not done well, the Austro-Hungarian Empire will become two countries...
As for his attitude towards the behavior of the Austrian Emperor, to be honest, as a Prussian, Prime Minister Holvig instinctively expressed dissatisfaction with Bavaria and Austria being so close to him, but in this case, he could not object. After all, the Hungarian army performed too badly this time, and Austria was Germany's most reliable ally. The most important thing is that it is too late to change now. The Hungarian Prime Minister has arrived in Vienna. It is estimated that the Austrian Emperor's actions have been launched. This is equivalent to getting on the fast lane without brakes and can only go one way!
"Has the Ao Emperor's action been launched? We are still fighting against powerful enemies on the Eastern Front." Holvig said quite tactfully.
"It doesn't matter. The entire Ukraine will fall into the control of the allies within two months. The Tsarist Russian government will not survive this winter. Although His Majesty Fritz is under a lot of pressure, I think that if it can operate well, the probability of the whole thing succeeding will be higher." The prince said.
The disposal of Hungary is an indispensable process for Princess Mary to become the crown prince. Originally, if Russia did not launch an attack on the Hungarian legion, the prince would have to wait for the opportunity to launch it again. However, this time, the Hungarian army collapsed thousands of miles, and the military failure directly led to political turmoil. Various originally suppressed contradictions are very likely to burst out together. Under internal and external troubles, the Hungarian Kingdom is very likely to collapse directly. At this time, for those independent small forces, valuable directly recycled and became part of a new empire. If there is no value or the cost is too high, they will directly choose to abandon it.
Although the prince still insists on the cohesion and consistency of the country are the most important, Emperor Fritz wanted to ensure that the territory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was not reduced. Although the direction of the two sides consider the problem was somewhat deviated, overall, it is necessary to weaken or even dismember the Hungarian Kingdom. As for how to bridge this difference? It doesn’t matter. It’s still early anyway, let Hungary be a little messed up first. Anyway, relying on Bavaria and Austria, the Eastern Front and Balkan War Zone can also remain stable!
As for why Emperor Ao and Ruprecht dared to attack Hungary, the reason is very simple, because Hungary is too weak. Although his land area is more than 300,000 square kilometers, which is more than 4 times that of Bavaria, in terms of comprehensive strength and cohesion, it is really not as good as Bavaria!
Hungary has a population of about 20 million, of which there are only less than 10 million real Hungarians, and only 6.4 million people after being divided in later generations. It can be seen that the cohesion of the Hungarian Kingdom itself is very limited, and the failure of the battlefield and the economic difficulties will undoubtedly aggravate the ethnic separatist forces of various ethnic groups and regions. Therefore, before Austria puts pressure on Hungary, Hungary first had to deal with the domestic separatist forces.
In addition to domestic social problems, there are many problems in the superstructure of Hungary. Although Hungary has the name of a kingdom, except for Fritz, the supreme leader is the Hungarian Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister is also subject to the parliament. The Hungarian Parliament itself is a hodgepodge composed of landlords, aristocrats, bourgeoisie, etc. In addition, the Bolshevikism that is common in various countries in World War I, each class has its own demands, the same class in time, and it is also different in viewing the binary empire. Therefore, in addition to ensuring unity when competing for interests with Austria, the entire Hungarian Parliament is also a political decision-making body with serious internal friction.
It is conceivable that after Hungarian Prime Minister Tissa and O'Neon Fritz reached an agreement in time, it is difficult to say whether the Hungarian parliament can pass this resolution. Even if the parliament passes, it is still unknown whether this resolution can be implemented in the current Hungary. Therefore, in the prince's view, when the news of the defeat is transmitted back to Hungary, various conflicts and disputes that were originally temporarily suppressed will be provoked, and Hungary will also enter an unprecedented stage of chaos.
Well, Hungary has two choices at this time. The first choice is to accept compromise, give up part of its independence, and then gradually be assimilated by Austria. The second choice is to hold on to the end. What will happen? The ending of Hungary 1 in history has told the prince that only a small piece of it was left to be bombed!
