1672 Strategies 2

"The Hungary is very chaotic. Even now, some people in the Hungarian parliament still cannot unify their opinions. Among the three Hungarian giants, Andrahi and the spokesperson of the capitalist Earl Oberni are not friendly to us. Prime Minister Tissa's attitude is a bit obscure. I don't know if he has fantasies about the Austrian government or has deep hostility towards us. The bourgeois radicals are very friendly to us."

"If we look at the social class, capitalists and middle classes are more inclined to us. They want to establish a bourgeois republic, not kings and nobles, and may take the initiative to the land when necessary. Most of the Hungarians are indifferent. They just want to end the war quickly and have the lowest guarantee of their lives. They don't care who the rulers are, as long as they can meet their food and clothing needs."

"In addition, there are some Hungarian Bolsheviks who also want to seize power and have a certain mass base, especially in some of the military, which is a very big threat to our plan and need to be eliminated when necessary." Lloyd George stopped and continued. "Of course, all of this is just the Hungarians, the Romanians, the Slovaks, etc."

"Haha, this is really like a large plate of salads, with all kinds of vegetables forcibly mixed together, but the cabbage is still cabbage, and the cucumber is still cucumber. It's just that it is coated with a salad dressing called Hungary." Prime Minister Asquith said helplessly.

"This is the sad thing about Hungary, a big country with a population of 20 million, and the number of Hungarians is less than 10 million. The complex national and class issues make it difficult for us to carry out our work, because no matter what you do, there will be a group of people who are dissatisfied with you or even hostile to you." Lloyd George also complained and continued his own reporting work.

"Everyone outside Hungary is not trustworthy. The Slovaks seemed to have reached some kind of agreement with the Austrian government. The Austrian legions entered Slovakia, and the Hungarians unexpectedly withdrew their troops. Croatia and Slovenians also showed some similar tendencies. They began to rule out Hungary's influence in these places. The main goods we ship to Hungary now are to land and transport through this area. If they turn to Vienna, it would be a disaster for our plan."

"Of course, the worst is the Romanians! They are like crazy bulls and face the Hungarians! Some of our people have contacted the Romanian guerrillas and tried to persuade them to temporarily give up hostilities against Hungary, but they were rejected. The Hungarian side also has great hostility towards the Romanians. By the way, one thing needs to be explained. We have also found a large number of Russians and a small group of French people in the Romanian guerrillas. It is because of their existence that the Romanian guerrillas have greatly increased their combat effectiveness." Lloyd George said.

"This... this is really a troublesome thing." General Heg couldn't help but say. The so-called plan cannot keep up with changes, the idea is good, but it is troublesome to implement it. Not to mention anything else, just from the hatred between Romania and Hungary, it is really not easy to temporarily stop the two nations that have already made real fire and can use blood hatred between the two sides to temporarily stop.

Romanians have their own obsession with "Greater Romania". In the eyes of Romanians, the Transylvania region of Hungary is determined to win! Hungary also has 10,000 reasons to destroy Romania! In addition, in the past two years, both sides have made a dog-brain on the battlefield, and after Hungary occupied Romania, they adopted harsh suppression and military control. Now, Hungary has the possibility of being killed, how could the Romanians not take the blame? This contradiction and opposition cannot be resolved in just one sentence by the British!

"This is not the most troublesome thing. The most troublesome thing is that the Hungarians have asked us to require a lot of food and daily necessities. But the most important thing is that they have no way to pay it!" Lloyd George said angrily.

"We don't have enough food? Daily necessities? How can we have extra things to the Hungarians? And even if we provide help, we cannot support a country with a population of 20 million." Prime Minister Asquis said.

If you want guns and artillery, it would be impossible to draw a little for Hungary with the industrial capacity of the Allies. Don’t you see that in history, many American troops arrived in France empty-handed, and then the French were responsible for arming them... But there is really no food. Now Britain and France still need a large amount of food to import, and as a neutral Italy itself has not enough grain output! And Hungary’s food shortage is too big. How could the Allies that are leaving after making a fortune, take over Hungary?

"As a middle-class European country, how could Hungary have no food reserves? Even in war, before the Hungarian army collapsed on the battlefield, they were not short of food." General Heg asked.

"Before, although Hungary's grain production did decline due to the war issue, it was still fine to rely on Austria and the support of imported food. But now, because the domestic chaos and the negotiations with Vienna have reached a deadlock, there is no free food. The domestic food production is controlled by the landlords, and the hoarding of merchants. In this case, who would easily let go of the food in his hands? The government did not act and the internal and external troubles are internal and external, the food problem of the civilian class in Hungary is becoming more and more prominent." Lloyd George explained.

"Haha. Such a regime will inevitably perish." General Heg said mercilessly. At the critical moment of life and death, the Hungarians were not cheering up. What is this not to commit suicide? After the revolution, even the worst situation can be restored in a short period of time. One of the most critical factors is that the shortage of daily necessities in society is not simply caused by nothing, but more importantly, the unreasonable distribution method. A small number of people hold a large amount of things and do not let go of this shortage. Therefore, once they decide to "strike the local tyrants and divide the land", the social situation will always be better in a short period of time. Of course, it will definitely not be able to continue for a long time, because later, the limit on the total amount of materials cannot be changed.
