"Do you know what my greatest experience in this war?" Emperor Fritz, sitting in the main seat in Schonbrunn Palace, said, looking at the Hungarian representative sitting down below.

"I learned three points from this war. The first point is that a country must unite to become a real power. The military and economic forces on paper are not reliable in high-intensity confrontation. The second point is that only when the people can share enough benefits from the development of the country can they support the country, and we as rulers can steadily rule the country. The third point is that any change and development needs a price. Even if sometimes the price is very high, we must pay it!" Emperor Fritz said word by word, as if he wanted everyone here to understand.

"Are you finally coming?" Emperor Ao's words made Prime Minister Sati's heart tighten, and a terrifying feeling rose from the depths of his heart. These three points have been clearly stated. The so-called unity naturally requires centralization. The second point is to change the domestic political system of Hungary and break the monopoly of Hungarian aristocracy on political rights and national wealth. The third point can be regarded as a threat.

"But your Majesty, I think that for the current empire, maintaining stability is the most important thing. Half of the territory of the current empire is in danger. We should first solve these problems, and then talk about other things. The sacred alliance between Austria and Hungary must be maintained. This is what you and my father have created together. It is the basis for the existence of this empire!" said the little Earl Andrache.

"So, we should first send troops to suppress the Romanian riots, and then beat the Slovaks to obey?" Emperor Ao looked at the descendants of the founder of the dual empire in front of him and said with interest.

"In the end, the Romanians and Slovaks hated Austria, and Hungary could reap the benefits of the fisherman. We consumed valuable national strength and army and ended up with such a result. Everything returned to the starting point. Apart from increasing hatred, the central government of the empire got nothing." The God-turned Emperor shocked everyone present.

"As the emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, your idea is too narrow. You are just considering the interests of Austria, not the interests of Hungary. This should not be what an imperial emperor thinks. Your idea is more like the king of Austria than the emperor of the empire!" Prime Minister Sati's words contained dissatisfaction, and at the same time there was a hint of threat.

"What you said seems to make sense." Emperor Austria raised his head and looked into the distance, as if he was trapped in some memory. "The original intention of the dual empire was to gather together for warmth from the two kingdoms of Austria and Hungary, each of which was needed. We need to maintain the dignity of a great power, and at the same time we have to deal with the national and revolutionary pressures in the country. We are both afraid of the national independence movement and the riots like in 1848. This is the basis of the dual empire, but as time goes by, when the country is in a stable state, how many of the rulings can remember this original intention and contribute their own strength to the cause of maintaining this empire?"

"If it comes to narrow-mindedness, I don't think Hungary has the right to blame Austria! You have gotten too much from the binary empire, but how can you give back to the empire?" Emperor Austria said to Prime Minister Sati.

"Little Earl Andrach, your father said this: the Kingdom of Hungary can obtain the same status and rights as Austria, which bears 70% of the fiscal pressure. What else is there to be dissatisfied with the Kingdom of Hungary? Do you want to say something about this? Agree? Or do you want to overthrow what your father said?" Emperor Austria looked at the embarrassment and anxiety of the other party with interest.

"After the establishment of the binary empire, Hungary merged with the Grand Duchy of Transylvania, and then became a partner with the Croatia-Slavoni Kingdom. Both of these places have now become part of the Hungarian territory. You will not deny it?"

"However, our world is not peaceful, and the empire is facing threats from all sides. When the central government wants to allocate funds to strengthen our army in order to resist foreign threats and win more benefits for the Austro-Hungarian Empire, what did Hungary do? Your country is unwilling to invest a penny for any army that is not Hungary, and unwilling to provide a coin for the navy unless these warships were built in Hungary. You are quarreling over the number of expanded troops and are unwilling to purchase new, better-performance Skoda artillery, just because these belong to Austria. So good, I would like to ask, did the Hungarian Parliament consider this from the perspective of the empire when discussing these things?"

"Of course, you can push all this to the nationalists in China. You will say that receiving German orders for the central government under the black and yellow flag (Austria-Hungarian Army flag) is an insult to the entire Hungarian nation. You demand that an army that is completely in the Hungarian language and fights for Hungary. So, now your purpose has been achieved. The Austrian-Hungarian army uses two languages, you have an army that belongs to Hungary, so good, now, answer me, is this army that uses the Hungarian language and belongs to Hungary's own nation ready to assume obligations?" asked the Austrian Emperor back!

"But we still fought against the Russians for the empire, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Hungarian Legion were stained with blood! We paid a huge price in Przemesil and Lviv, and no one could erase these achievements and efforts!" Prime Minister Sati said loudly.

"Yes, these soldiers were indeed sacrificed for the Empire, I admit it! But did the Empire not pay you? Who fought Romania? Who handed over to? Where were the Hungarian troops before the Bavarian and Bohemia legions of Ruprecht arrived at the front line? Two months later, your military boots were trampled on the land of Bucharest!"

"The central government of the empire fully fulfilled its obligations. Before the war started, you said that Hungary wanted Romania. At that time, my reply was that if the Romanians dared to point the gun at us, if the Hungarian army could obey the arrangements of the General Staff and execute orders, then Bucharest would become a prize for Hungary. Very well, 6 months ago, this promise was fulfilled! But after that, did the Hungarian government and the army fulfill their promise?" asked the Ao Emperor.
