1601 Stormy Hungary 1

"His Majesty the Emperor will meet you at Schonbrunn Palace at 9 am tomorrow. Please prepare for Prime Minister Tissa Eastwan, Minister Andrahi, and Earl Oboni." When facing Hungarian visitors, the messenger of the Emperor Ao was impeccable in terms of etiquette and demeanor, but in the eyes of the Hungarians, the dissatisfaction and contempt hidden in the other party's dark colors could be seen by anyone.

"We are now like a dog with a family, but our former partners throw some bones to us like their masters." Earl Oboni, the leader of the Hungarian Independence Party, said angrily after the Ao Emperor's envoy left.

"So what? We are now in a weak position, and even our own government is in danger. The situation is like this, we have to bow our heads." Prime Minister Tisa shook his head and said. It was the third time in two months that the Hungarian Prime Minister had formed a group to meet with Emperor Ao.

The Borusinov offensive before the Russians died was so huge that it could even be said to have directly shaken the foundation of Hungary! At least half of Hungary's army was defeated or severely damaged. The front-line field corps were completely lost. Now, there is no longer a built-in Hungarian army on the eastern front, and the remaining troops have retreated to their homeland and Romania.

After suffering a crushing defeat, Tisa Eastvan immediately took action. On the one hand, the news of the domestic blockade slowed down the adverse impact of the crushing defeat on the Kingdom of Hungary. At the same time, the control of the domestic minority was strengthened. On the other hand, he immediately went to Vienna to meet with the Emperor Ao for help.

Prime Minister Tisa's first time came to ask Emperor Austria to allow the Hungarian army to withdraw from the country for rest and rest. On the one hand, this is the inevitable result of the defeat, and on the other hand, it is to suppress the domestic minority forces that are ready to move! You should know that the ethnic minorities in Hungary also have military forces!

Take the army in 1906 as an example. Among the 1,000 Austro-Hungarian army, there were 267 Germans, 223 Hungarians, 135 Czechs, 85 Poles, 81 Lusinians, 67 Croatians and Serbs, 64 Romanians, 38 Slovaks, as well as 26 Slovenians and 14 Italians.

Among these 1,000 people belong to Hungary are Hungarians, Lusinians, Romanians, Slovaks, and some Croatians and other ethnic groups. Among them, the proportion of Hungarians and the other three ethnic groups is about 223 to 183. If other ethnic groups are included, the proportion will only be higher! In other words, about half of the Hungarian army is other ethnic groups, and it is not consistent with the Hungarian nation.

When the main Hungarian national legion suffered a crushing defeat on the Eastern Front, other ethnic minorities that have been suppressed will naturally have other thoughts. If they had thoughts before, they had not had the strength. Then now, with the large reduction of Hungary's own ethnic troops and the proportion of ethnic minorities continue to rise, what will other ethnic groups that have already obtained guns think about Hungary? It will definitely not be a good thing!

Therefore, as soon as the news of the defeat in the battle came back, Prime Minister Tisa went to Vienna immediately, hoping that Emperor Austria would allow the Hungarian Legion to withdraw from the Eastern Front and return to the local area to suppress the rebellion. For the first time, Emperor Austria's attitude was pretty good, and he said very generously that the Hungarian Legion could return to the local area without having to participate in the subsequent Eastern Front war.
