1604 Stormy Hungary 4

So, before the second meeting, the Ao Emperor really planned to bring Hungary and negotiate with the Hungarian ruling class, and then come up with a plan that both sides accepted. The specific nature is similar to the reform of Alexander II of the Russians. While trying to ensure the interests of the ruling class, it eases social conflicts and gives the middle and lower-class people a room for promotion and a better life. Even Fritz was ready to yell in the Hungarian Parliament: "Everyone should believe me, I have tried my best to guarantee the interests of the nobles and landlords." However, the Hungarian government refused even the initial temptation.

Even at this time, the Hungarian government still made itself like a fortress, with needles unable to be inserted and water unable to be poured in. In this case, Emperor Ao did not think that he had the obligation to throw things to Hungary for nothing! So the result of Tisa's second interview was that it was a disagreement.

However, this time Hungary cannot say that it has not obtained anything. The rebels located in northeastern Romania cannot ignore it. So, after discussing with Ruprecht, two Austrian troops and a Bohemian division went to encircle and suppress the Romanian rebels. The two sides fought in the Yassie area. After throwing down more than 20,000 corpses, 30,000 prisoners and most of the heavy equipment, the Romanian rebels retreated. However, this is not the end. The remaining Romanian rebels no longer mingle in Romania and began to transfer to the Transylvania area.

Logically speaking, the Romanian rebels, which suffered huge losses, should not make any waves at this time, but at this time a series of things made the entire situation develop in an uncertain direction. First of all, according to the German Emperor's opinion, Prince Ruprecht's troops could not enter the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In fact, this actually left a back door, because after all, the owner of the Bohemia Legion was His Highness Princess Mary, and Ruprecht was just commanding. No matter how domineering the German Emperor, it cannot be said that the Austro-Hungarian Empire's troops would not be allowed to enter Austro-Hungarian Empire? Of course, if the prince was unwilling, then naturally he would abide by the German Emperor's opinions.

At this time, Ruprecht naturally did not want to help Hungary, so the Bohemia Legion refused to enter Hungary with the orders of the Emperor of Germany as a shield to continue the clearance and concession. Of course, without the Bohemia Legion, the two Austrian armies were actually enough to deal with the Romanians who had already disbanded. If they continued to concession, they would be solved soon. Unfortunately, Hungary didn't think so!

At this time, the Hungarian government once again showed their first-class spirit of dying. They believed that the Romanian rebel army had nothing to fear. Although Hungary was severely damaged, it was still a European middle-class country with an area of ​​more than 300,000 square kilometers. It also had a population of tens of millions! It was completely fine to kill the remnants of this rebel army!

However, if two Austrian troops enter Hungary, the situation will be different. The two Austrian troops, full of people, are not something Hungary can deal with now. The so-called easy to invite gods and difficult to send gods is what it means! In this turbulent period, people with guns will naturally have authority. With these two armies as footnotes, if the Austrian government really makes some demands, will the Hungarians agree or refuse?

Therefore, the Hungarian government immediately stated that "the Hungarian government and army can solve the Hungarian affairs themselves, so there is no need to waste the precious resources of the empire." So Prime Minister Tisa politely rejected the Austrian army's request to enter Hungary to continue to clear the goods. However, it was this decision that further deteriorated the situation in Hungary!

No matter how weak Hungary is, it will not be able to deal with tens of thousands of Romanian scattered soldiers who have no heavy equipment and have lost their airs. But what does it mean? Good fortune will not lead to both, and misfortune will not go alone! Just when Romania was making Hungary so upset, something happened again in Slovakia!

Slovakia is closely connected with Bohemia and Austria, and the two sides have a lot of exchanges. The Slovaks envy the political status and living standards of Bohemia in Austria. Look at the Czechs and then look at their own side. This gap has brought particularly huge dissatisfaction to the Slovaks.

In fact, although the national independence movement was turbulent in this era, not all nations wanted to be independent. For example, the Slovenians, in 1910, had a total of 2 million people in pure Slovakia, and various problems came to their independence. Therefore, in history, the Slovaks decided to get together with the Czechs. Even the Serbs, who were always known for their toughness, still had a huge influence in the areas that originally belonged to the Austro-Hungarian Empire after the founding of Yugoslavia in later generations.

Unlike the Romanians in Transylvania, the Slovaks chose soft confrontation. They asked the Hungarian government to give the Slovaks more autonomy, and specifically demanded that the Bohemia region in Austria be compared. However, the Hungarian government naturally disagreed with this. If this is the case, it would not be bad. The Hungarian government decided to implement a high-pressure policy, and the Slovaks also expressed their desire to defend their rights. So soft confrontation broke out between the two sides.

But don’t forget that the materials transported from Austria to Hungary have to pass through Slovakia, but this will lead to problems... The Slovaks seized this batch of materials and also began to organize their own military forces. This time, the conflict between the two sides became great!

Therefore, the Hungarian Legion, which could have been described as a perseverance, had to be deployed in two directions. The result was that neither side could solve the problem, and the Romanians entering Transylvania "would not burn all the wildfires and spring breezes to revive again"! In the area of ​​their own nation, their power grew and became increasingly fierce. The Romanians who knew they could not defeat Austria also learned to be smart. They no longer under the banner of the Allies, but were under the guise of national independence and autonomy. The banner of withdrawing from the war and seeking autonomy made the situation in Transylvania even more uncontrollable!

The ethnic issue has now left the entire Hungary on the explosive pack, starting with Romanians, then Slovaks, then Germans and Poles! To be honest, in Hungary, the Germans also have a population of 2 million, and they are also ruled nations. Germans are not used as the first language in Hungary! Since Romania and Slovakia are both troubled, the Germans can naturally make trouble, not to merge with Austria, at least they need regional autonomy! As for the Poles? Well, they have been making trouble...
