1605 The beginning of change 1

At the same time, the fires in the two places are not something that the Hungarian government can deal with, and it cannot be dealt with simply by relying on violence. Transylvania on the southern front is Hungary's own territory, and it cannot be broken into ruins, right? The Slovaks on the northern front are even more soft-confrontation. Although the two sides confront each other, they did not start a fuss. And if the Hungarian government launches large-scale military operations without authorization, it is hard to say what kind of attitude is here. After all, Austria cannot let the chaotic situation affect itself, so if Hungary takes action, Austria will definitely take action.

However, what scared Tissa even more was not just the riotous national independence movement in Hungary. The domestic economic and material supply made the country crumbling. Although Hungary has actually withdrawn from the war, the domestic supply has not improved. A large amount of funds and materials are still used in the army. It was a foreign war before, but now it is a civil war...

Moreover, during the war, Hungary's domestic production itself fell into a weak state, and this year's grain output is expected to be only two-thirds of that in normal years. Prices rose by more than twice, while wages rose by less than 50%. It should be noted that the wage level of ordinary people in Hungary was not high in peacetime. From 1900 to 1910, the average price rose by more than 50%, and the wage level almost did not change!

After the Hungarian government chose to temporarily withdraw from the war, the central government's war allocations and supplies would naturally decrease. After all, in the war, the Austrian army was still fighting and the war had to continue. How could there be extra supplies to support idle people? In Austria, material and financial support were reduced, and Hungary itself was in a civil strife. The situation in Hungary was even worse than when he participated in the war! After all, at that time, Austria was at the bottom. The supply of food and fuel from Turkey could at least solve Hungary's food and clothing problem.

Before Prime Minister Tisa decided to meet the Austrian Emperor for the third time, the Hungarian parliament also discussed several issues specifically for the current situation. So far, seven out of 10 people have begun to miss the original binary empire policy. To be honest, Hungary, which took advantage of the binary empire policy, was Hungary, not Austria. As Hungarian Prime Minister Andrashi, who signed the agreement, said: "We can get the same status as Austria by paying only 30% of the finances. What else are you not satisfied with?"

"The news revealed by Vienna is already very obvious. They hope to change the binary system and weaken Hungary's independence and sovereignty as a country. I personally cannot bear this situation!" said Count Andrashi, the youngest, in the Hungarian Parliament.

"However, if we don't make a compromise, then what is waiting for Hungary is collapse," said Prime Minister Tisa.

"Then let the entire Austro-Hungarian Empire be buried with you! If there is no big Hungary in this world, then what is the point of the Austro-Hungarian Empire?" Little Count Andrashi said a little crazy.

"However, Austria will not collapse, they can even get a piece of our body." Tisa said helplessly.

"The national problem is not the most terrifying. Austria will not allow the spread of Hungarian national problem. After all, Austria itself has more problems. The most terrifying thing is that all of us here, our status, wealth and power today, may become a passing cloud, and our people are overwhelmed. If this situation continues, they can overthrow us. Just like Russia now, we are all on the verge of an outbreak of a revolution!" Earl Oberni, the leader of the Independence Party, pointed out the biggest problem in Hungary at present!

If the division of the country makes these people with great Hungarianism feel spiritually desperate, then once a revolution similar to that of 1848 broke out, it would be physical death... After the revolution, I am afraid that few people who sit in the Hungarian Parliament can survive! At the critical moment of life and death, even if the Hungarian government and the leaders of the parliament were unwilling to accept it, they had to go to Vienna again, just for the vague hope! Therefore, Tissa and his group came to Vienna for the third time!

This time, the Austrian Emperor treated the Hungarian representatives as well as the two times before. In the Austrian Emperor's view, the Hungarian rulers have not yet realized their situation. It can be said that the entire Austrian-Hungarian Empire, not only Hungary, but even Austria, has reached a level that cannot be maintained without change. If there is no change, even if there is no military and political problem, after the war, the Austrian-Hungarian Empire will be weak due to various problems!

That's right, you're right. This time, not only Hungary, but even Austria will undergo a major change. It's not just to turn Princess Mary into Empress Mary, but the entire empire's political system will change. According to the prince, the binary empire has come to an end. There is no way out to try to rule the 9 nations with two nations! The best way is to establish a federal system similar to the United States.

As for why the prince made this opinion? The reason is very simple. If the Allies win in World War I, the Austro-Hungarian Empire can obtain large tracts of land including some Russian Poland, some Belarusian territory and Western Ukraine. Even if it comes to the minority, it will have at least 300,000 square kilometers! And with these territories being included in them, there are at least 15 to 18 million people!

Although Poland had asked the Russians to clean up a large population before the war, and although similar situations occurred in Ukraine, the prince even now signaled the troops to "promote" the Ukrainians to escape east when necessary, the population base of these areas is too large after all. And this does not include the Romanian region that the Hungarians want...

Let’s look at the ethnic composition of these regions. I won’t talk about the Poles. In Europe, the Poles’ sense of independence and restoration is beyond the reach of their right. The firmness of their position and the huge contributions are very sad. If Ruprecht was not a German, I would probably give the Poles a thumbs up.

The Romanians followed closely, and it was not a stable factor. Not only did the Romania country that has been occupied now, but the Romanians in Transylvania alone made the Austro-Hungarian Empire feel a headache. Therefore, the prince's attitude towards Romania was that he would rather let Bulgaria and even Turkey divide Romania, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire just get a part of the purification troops and share the pressure together. Similarly, this also applies to Serbia.
